Happy Birthday!

Hubby's birthday was this week. Now he's as old as me. My favorite part about this card was what my mom felt the need to point our in parenthesis. The card reads "Turning 40 is really no big deal." My mom adds: (Just ask Michelle). Haha....
The card plays the Monday Night Football music when opened, so it went over well with all the guys.














Of course we had "The Cake" and what would a birthday be without silly string!?













Our great friends brought hubby 40 Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.


Individually wrapped!!

We ended the week at a Mexican restaurant and the Mariachi band came to sing.

We didn't tell them, I think they were hoping we'd offer them some cake, so hubby lucked out and didn't have to wear the giant sombrero!

I Am Loved

Well, there are almost no words for this, but I am rarely at a loss for words. It does happen occasionally, and this morning when I walked in was one of those times.

I did start all this this year.

The kids have been walking by all morning and stopping and staring. It's been quite fun.

How do you like Henrietta's new earrings?

And how about Henri's new shirt? Henri's a French hippo.

My door.

My street sign.....

They even got Krispy Kreme footballs.

One of my former student's was helping with all this because his mom works here, and he was worried I was going to be mad. He didn't want me to be mad because I was his favorite teacher. Sweet.

Have a great day! Hook 'Em Horns!

More Mischief

It's rampant, I tell ya. I go to two different schools. This morning upon returning to my home school from my secondary school, I saw this:

I've yet to locate the culprit....

Wordless Wednesday

Mischief and I Won!!

The mischief has begun! And here's my addition to it! :) Call your husband over, Nola.

And, check this out! I won! Don't know what I won yet, it's gonna be a surprise! Can't wait! Thanks, diber!

New Hoodie

My son's new hoodie (hoody?, hoodia?)....Cute, huh!?

Pet Peeves

Other than the stomach flu....
And I'm sure there are many more...maybe I should start a list.
First, I hate it when people push the handicapped button to open doors. Are they seriously *that* lazy? I guess so.
Then there was the time I was truckin' away on the elliptical machine. Our gym is super crowded after work, and there is a strict thirty minute limit. Like you can't even increase the time past thirty. So this lady gets on a treadmill and starts to get all settled in. Puts her iPod on, gets her towel situated, opens her water, takes a little drink, then pours her little mix-in in it and shakes it up....only then does she start her workout. Rude.
Wal-Mart.....Express Lane, 20 items or less. The lady in front of me has at least 40.....does *not* even get her method of payment out until all the items have been scanned. Then, I kid you not, she writes a check. People still write checks at stores? The thing that made me feel better about it was that it was my favorite Wal-Mart checker. She's Deaf, so we got to gripe about it without anyone else knowing! :)
Have I told you that story before?
Red River Shootout this weekend....I wonder what mischief will abound this week?
